Our Annual Picnic

President's Message

Hello to our website visitors and a big Thank You to everyone that attended the LAST Prowler Picnic and Ol' Timers Reunion on June 25, 2017. It was our 70th
anniversary and a fitting finale to this annual event. The weather was perfect, well it was a little warm.

We had attendees from as far as Hawaii to the West and Detroit from the East.

There were about 180 cars. We started the morning with free coffee and donuts. The IDEAS provided fine music while Big Devereau served his tasty
barbeque.

All the t-shirts were gone early as are most of the 93 commemorative plaques cast this Spring at Monte Hale's Backyard(there's a piston
in every plaque) Foundry! We still owe a couple to folks so if you would like one let us know.

Our club will now reinvent ourselves back into "doing whatever we want" for a change and leave the event planning to promoters who enjoy that stuff!

We are still the unchallenged "oldest hot rod club" continuously corrupting young men since 1947 so please dig in to our webpages and visit the hot rod club that
has been there the whole time. See the men, cars and their hobby from post WWII to the present that was the laboratory of power and style that helped shape today’s automobile.

I was born in San Diego in 1947, the youngest of 4 boys. I have spent most of my life here except for a brief time I lived in Bend Oregon. I was in the Prowlers
in the mid seventies and driving a 1928 Ford Sport Coupe. I drove that car to four NSRA national’s, 2 in Tulsa, 1 in Memphis and one in Detroit.

I've been a mechanic, a body man and painter. When I retired I was an insurance adjuster for Allstate Ins.

I live in El Cajon CA and my current club car is a 1929 Ford highboy roadster.
